Bull points
- In the first quarter of 2025, we're reporting 7.1% revenue growth compared to the same quarter last year. And I'm also highlighting that excluding the Netherlands, revenue growth was a robust 27% over the same period.
- I'm delighted to share that we're executing on strategy and moving the metrics that we believe are most important to increase shareholder value. This includes demonstrating operational leverage, which we did in Q1, improving our product mix with a greater proportion of margin accretive revenue, and increased cash generation, which we did in Q1 as well.
- we doubled down on our commitment to expanding our localized games portfolio in key markets around the world with our investment in Rapid Play, an exciting Brazilian casino content studio.
Bear points
